My Brother-in-law is the Prince Chapter 482

   After a while, Zhang Anshi and Chen Li hurried into the palace.

  Zhang Anshi saluted and said: "I have seen Your Majesty."

  Zhu Di folded his hands behind his back, nodded to Zhang Anshi, and said, "Zhang Qing is out of breath, seems to have something important to do?"

"this…"

  Zhu Di couldn't help showing a look of ridicule, he rarely saw Zhang Anshi panicked like this.

  As for Yi Shiha, he also smiled awkwardly. Of course, he quickly restrained his smile.

  After all, this time, Dongchang was really unkind, so it's better not to be complacent.

  Zhang Anshi paused, and then said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... came to inquire about the capture of the criminal."

   "There is such a thing." Zhu Di nodded: "I didn't expect you Jinyiwei to get wind of it so soon! I also said that this Jinyiwei has always had a keen sense of smell, but this time it has become much duller."

  Chen Li blushed, it was a slap in the face!

  Zhang Anshi laughed dryly and said, "I don't know about those criminals...how about those criminals...?"

  Zhu Di glanced at Yishiha: "Yishha, tell me."

Yi Shiha nodded, but still acted modestly, prudently and respectfully. Although the red light on his face still couldn't be concealed, he said: "Dongchang has been secretly investigating this case. Years ago, it was Secretly arrested a recorder of Honglu Temple, and has been following the clues since then. Only then did I know that there are quite a few people involved in this matter. Now all the criminals have been arrested, and the Dongji Incident Factory has begun The interrogation is over, I'm afraid it won't be long before there will be a confession."

Yi Shiha finished speaking, coughed, and then continued: "Because this matter is of great importance, although there were some eyebrows before, Dongchang was worried that some rumors would be leaked, so Dongchang's mouth was tighter, and His Highness used to be in charge. If you pass Jinyiwei, you must be able to understand."

  Zhang Anshi said: "I don't understand."

  Yi Shiha originally thought that Zhang Anshi would just go downhill, but he didn't expect to play cards completely out of routine.

  So, for a while, he froze in place, unable to speak.

  Seeing this, Zhu Di smiled and said: "Okay, okay, the factory guards are a family, and they all serve for me, regardless of each other, and there is no need to fight for merit. The most urgent task right now is this case..."

   Just as he was talking, an **** came running quickly.

  The **** saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the confession is here. Those involved in this case are seventeen principal offenders and forty-five accomplices..."

  Zhu Di cheered up and said, "Take me to have a look."

  The **** was waiting for the confession to be sent to the imperial court.

  Zhang An Shidao: "I might as well make a guess, Your Majesty...The chief criminals are Chen Deng, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, Liu He, the minister of Honglu Temple, Zhang Sanhe, a doctor of the Ministry of War, and..."

  Zhang Anshi unexpectedly announced a large list of names in one breath.

  Zhu Di has taken the confession, still smiling.

  Yi Shiha's expression changed slightly.

  Zhu Di looked down, and saw that this was the head of the confession, and it turned out to be the word of Chen Deng, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

  Flipping through the next copy, it turned out to be Liu He, Minister of the Honglu Temple.

   These are all important ministers of the court.

   Many of them are even Zhu Di's acquaintances.

  Zhu Di was angry, but also surprised. He looked up at Zhang Anshi: "Zhang Qing also knows?"

  Zhang Anshidao: "I...Of course I know."

  Yi Shiha felt a little embarrassed, and smiled apologetically, "Then Jin Yiwei...why didn't he say a word before?"

  Zhang Anshidao: "As you said, Eunuch Yishiha, the matter is of great importance. In order to prevent leakage, Jinyiwei has always been airtight!"

  Yi Shiha: "..."

  Zhu Di frowned: "When will Jin Yiwei find out?"

  Zhang An Shidao: "Five months ago."

  Zhu Di: "..."

  Yi Shiha said: "Since it was detected five months ago, why...why didn't you arrest it then?"

  Zhang Anshi smiled wryly and said: "Hey... I came here in a hurry, just for this, Your Majesty, Dongchang... This time, I'm going to startle the snake, and this time... it's really... hey, it's hard to say."

  Zhu Di saw the clue, and said: "You can say whatever you want."

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty...these people...are beneficial to my Ming Dynasty, so although the ministers have detected them, they have not collected the net, just to let them...contribute to my Ming Dynasty. I originally thought about waiting for their value to be fully utilized. I'm going to take it down and investigate it, but who knows, Dongchang didn't even say hello, but... directly took someone... minister... minister..."

   "Favourable?" The smile on Yi Shiha's face disappeared, and his thick eyebrows frowned unconsciously.

   After all, he began to recall that Jin Yiwei has been silent for so many days, dare you... Is it because they are raising fish?

  Zhu Di looked down at the confession, his face became more serious, and said: "What are you doing with such thieves! Teach them to live one more day, and it will be cheaper for them."

  While talking, Zhu Di's face became more and more gloomy.

   Just as he was talking, another **** came and said, "Your Majesty, all officials are begging to see you."

  Zhu Dizheng is angry! He glanced at the **** coldly: "Okay, everyone's eyes and ears are very good."

  He said lightly: "Call everyone in."

   Not long after, Yang Rong was the leader, and the rest Hu Guang, Jin Youzi, Xia Yuanji, Jin Zhongren and others entered the palace one after another.

   All the ministers saluted, and Zhu Di said bluntly: "What is the reason why you are here?"

  Yang Rong took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the guards of the factory have arrested many ministers, so everyone is in danger. The ministers and others have come here to implore your Majesty. What crimes have they committed?"

  Yang Rong looked speechless, what a troubled time, so many important officials of the court were suddenly arrested, and now all the ministries, temples and prisons are jumping in panic.

   If he, a scholar of Wenyuange University, doesn't care about it, it really doesn't make sense.

  But he also knew in his heart that there must be a reason for this.

  Zhu Di didn't intend to hide it, and directly said bluntly: "These people... are all rebels!"

   "I don't know... what did you do to anger people?" Jin Youzi couldn't help but speak at this time. Although he was taciturn, he also knew that this matter was serious.

  There are too many ministers involved, some of them are important ministers of the court, and many of them are former students of some ministers.

   Once these people are captured, everyone is naturally in danger, and no one of you has the mind to be on duty.

  Zhu Di said without hesitation: "Bewitching words to confuse the crowd!"

   All of a sudden, the ministers couldn't hold back anymore.

  Yang Rong sighed in his heart, but he couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of demonic words it is?"

  Zhu Di looked up at Zhang Anshi and said, "Just ask Zhang Qing."

  Zhang Anshi: "..."

  Zhang Anshi thought for a while, and said: "I'm too embarrassed to say it, so let's ask Eunuch Yishi Ha to say it."

  Yi Shiha: "..."

   This one doesn't want to say it, that one doesn't want to say it, only he can't shirk it the hardest.

  Yi Shiha said helplessly: "Mostly it is to slander the imperial court, make false statements about the palace, or use prophecy to confuse the people, especially among the prefectures and counties in the world, these nonsense words have caused people's turmoil..."

   Speaking of this, all the officials were ashamed.

  Because of this thing, how should it be defined? If you speak evil words, you can speak evil words. Who will dare to speak after that?

  What's more, it is really unreasonable to use this as a crime.

  Yang Rong pondered for a moment, then said: "I also lost Eunuch Ha, is there any evidence of rebellion?"

  Yi Shiha said: "Such people... dare to take risks by themselves by fanning the flames?"

  Yang Rong had no choice but to say: "Since this is the case, then, Your Majesty...will you please ask the San Judicial Division to interrogate this case so that we can set the record straight."

Yang Rong's words are justified. After all, such things as slander, falsehood, and bewitchment are really difficult to define, and this time, too many ministers are involved. If there is really an attempt to usurp, it will be good to stop the mouths of people all over the world.

  Zhu Di's face was uncertain.

  He obviously didn't want to do this, but it was Yang Rong who proposed it, which obviously...has become the consensus of all officials.

  Looking at the panic-stricken looks of all the officials, they were like frightened birds, obviously also frightened by this sudden big case.

   On the other hand, Zhu Di is unwilling to make the case public. The ghost knows what these people will say that violates the taboo, and he, Zhu Di, will face it.

  Hesitating for a moment, Zhu Di said: "Decree, order Dongchang to take the principal culprit and others to the front of the imperial court. I will interrogate myself in front of all officials."

  Since you suspect that Dongchang has arrested the wrong person, then I will ask you in front of you, and there is no need to go to the three courts.

   I also didn't understand, so I was busy with the arrangement.

  Yang Rong and the others seemed uneasy.

  Especially many people who were arrested, they may be the subordinates of a certain minister in this palace, or students, or old friends, they are more and more uneasy at this time.

  Any murder case may cause people to suffer innocent disasters. God knows when it will fall on their own heads.

Moreover, there are quite a few ministers involved this time. As for the important officials of the court like Chen Deng, Liu He, and Zhang Sanhe, they don't know how much they have dealt with people on weekdays. It is really unacceptable that they suddenly become prisoners. .

   After half an hour.

   Finally, someone escorted us.

  Chen Deng is the leader.

  He actually swaggered forward. Although he was shackled and wearing a wooden shackle, he looked awe-inspiring and fearless.

   There are several people behind, some are trying to calm down, some are sad.

  Zhu Di looked at them and snorted coldly.

  Chen Deng stood still.

  Yi Shiha shouted loudly: "It's not a salute yet."

Chen Deng said awe-inspiringly: "If the king treats his ministers like brothers and feet, then the ministers will treat him like his heart; if the king treats his ministers like dogs and horses, then his ministers will treat him like a countryman; Treating ministers like nothing, as ministers, at this point, what else is there to kneel down and beg for mercy?"

  Chen Deng is very stubborn.

  But after thinking about it carefully, it is actually understandable. Being arrested as a criminal and also the main criminal, Zhu Di's methods are too familiar to him.

  In any case, there is no place for death anyway, it is better at this time to seek a name of uprightness, at least according to the history of the Qing Dynasty, so that this life is not in vain!

Zhu Di looked at his words and deeds, his face became even more gloomy, and he said angrily: "I heard that the salary of eating the king is the thing of being loyal to the king. I have a lot of money for your salary, but today you want to pay for it." Bite me back?"

  Chen Dengdao: "Then dare to ask Your Majesty, how much money and food will the court distribute to ministers?"

  This rhetorical question made Zhang Anshi on the side a little bit overwhelmed.

   Baiguan: "..."

  The hall fell into a deathly silence.

  Zhu Di stared and became even more furious.

   Chen Deng's rhetorical question was actually quite taunting. After all... this salary was set by Emperor Taizu Gao, who was born in commoner and knew the sufferings of the people, so he directly used the food and clothing expenses of the common people for a year to calculate the money and food expenditure of the ministers.

  For example, ordinary people can barely feed themselves with two hundred catties of grain per year. If you are an official, I will give you two thousand catties of food, and each person can eat ten people's rations.

  Thus, the salary of the Ming Dynasty has always been the lowest. If someone was an official in the Yuan Dynasty and continued to be an official in the Ming Dynasty, the sharp drop in salary alone would be enough to make people unable to bear it.

  Zhu Di endured and endured, and then he calmed down a bit, and then said with a sullen face: "I will ask you, have you ever received my salary?"

  Chen Deng calmly said: "Chen is an official, and it is difficult to survive on salary. It is only through the support of his father and brother at home that he can maintain so far. If there is no money and food from his father and brother at home, I am afraid that he will have starved to death."

  Zhu Di sneered: "Sophistry!"

  Hundred officials were even more speechless at this time. Although Chen Deng's words contained sophistry, they felt the same way.

  Of course...they admired Chen Deng's courage.

I saw Chen Deng said again: "It's nothing more than father and brother helping each other. After all, there is still some ancestral property in the family. But now, even these ancestral properties cannot be maintained. People are in danger, and their family fortune is in danger, dare to ask Your Majesty, where did you get the salary of eating the king, and how can you teach people how to be loyal to the king?"

After Chen Deng finished speaking, he said with emotion: "I know that your majesty kills without permission. Since your majesty entered Nanjing, I don't know how many people's heads have fallen, not to mention the distance. Just talking about last year, there are not many gentry in Henan and Guanzhong who killed all their heads. Get lost? I have reached this point today, and I have nothing to say. Your Majesty wants to be killed or cut, so please listen! But if the death of the minister, if it can attract the vigilance of the people in the world to the New Deal, it will make the government rampant. If the villain restrains himself a little, then he will have no regrets in this life."

  Zhu Di was extremely angry. Although he was old, he found that after so many years, he had never been able to take advantage of his mouth in front of these ministers who were always plausible.

  At the moment, he sneered sinisterly, his eyes glistening like swords.

  Baiguan's figure trembled, only to feel a cold light on his back, and some people even broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads.

  Of course, there are actually many people who silently agree with Chen Deng in their hearts.

  Yi Shiha could no longer hold back and shouted: "Chen Deng, you are dying in front of your eyes, and you still want to speak hard... Let me ask you, do you plead guilty or not?"

Chen Deng glanced at Yi Shiha with disdain, and said sternly: "No crime, I, Chen Deng, said everything that came from the bottom of my heart, and it was a warning to the world. If you want to be guilty of the crime of words today, then you have nothing to say. It is nothing more than using my blood to complete the righteousness of Confucius and Mencius."

  Yi Shiha gritted his teeth and said, "You won't be stubborn by then."

  He seemed a little impatient, and was eager to get Chen Deng to plead guilty, but he didn't know... After saying these words, the situation was suddenly pulled down.

  This made Chen Deng laugh out loud: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a punishment. Although I'm weak, I want to learn from you. You and the factory guards will do everything they can."

  Zhang Anshi looked at Yi Shiha speechlessly. Although he knew that Yi Shiha was eager to make some contribution, it was too urgent.

  Treat people like Chen Deng, you go talk about it with them, isn't this teaching Chen Deng to become famous in one fell swoop?

  Zhu Di was so angry that he couldn't speak, his face was as dark as ink.

  If I had known this before, I might as well just go to prison and kill him directly. Now it's better...

  He held his breath and looked around. In fact, he still hoped that among the ministers, someone who was full of knowledge would stand up and argue with Chen Deng.

   But all the officials lowered their heads, even Jin Zhong, the most confidant, was actually pretending to be dead.

   There are no fools here.

  This kind of thing... Whoever stands up is a clown. Anyway, I can't do this, so you can do it.

  What is surprising is that Zhang Anshi smiled slightly at this time and said: "There is actually a reason for Chen Gong's words."

  As soon as this remark came out, Zhu Di couldn't hold back anymore.

  Which side are you Zhang Anshi on? Can you figure out where you stand?

   Not to mention that Zhang Anshi still called Chen Deng his father, but now he still said he was justified. This is obviously standing directly on Chen Deng's position, and He Yishiha got on the bar.

  Chen Deng: "..."

  Zhang Anshi smiled as if he couldn't see Zhu Di's glaring eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei had already detected the words and deeds of Mr. Chen and others, but they kept silent. They just watched silently and didn't issue driving stickers. This is also the reason."

  Zhu Di sullenly said, "In this way, Zhang Qing also thinks that Chen Deng did the right thing?"

  Zhang An Shidao: "The public says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable. We are all one family. In my opinion, if you want to save face, you don't have to..."

  Zhu Di suddenly felt very bad, when did Zhang Anshi become so indiscriminate between right and wrong?

  So he shouted loudly: "This is treason, it is deceiving the emperor!"

  Zhu Di just wished he could wake up Zhang Anshi with a loud shout.

But Zhang Anshi said earnestly: "But Mr. Chen...has done a lot for our governor's mansion. And His Royal Highness... Mr. Chen has broken his heart for His Royal Highness. His Majesty sees this kind of credit, You should also be able to understand Mr. Chen."

  Zhu Di: "..."

  The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is a symbol of the New Deal.

  The emperor's grandson... is Zhu Di's own grandson.

  However, what Chen Deng did was clearly aimed at opposing the New Deal.

  No matter what, there is no way to get hooked.

   This is actually more than Zhu Di's discoloration.

  Even Chen Deng became furious from his impassioned statement just now.

   He, Chen Deng, had an affair with the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion?

   Conscience of heaven and earth! This piece of Anshi is simply nonsense.

   "Heh... the king of Wuhu County... isn't he afraid of retribution for turning right and wrong like this?" Chen Deng glanced at Zhang Anshi disdainfully, with awe-inspiring righteousness.

All the officials looked at Zhang Anshi speechlessly. This guy... You say he is smart, but he knows how to sow dissension. Call him stupid. Everyone is a genius for such a low-level method. Who cares? not understand?

  Isn't it stupid to want to humiliate Chen Deng based on this?

  The update has been delivered, hey, it suddenly exploded, I am so tired, but the tiger is still insisting, students, give Zhang a monthly ticket to encourage.
